The publication Safer lives and livelihoods in mountains: Making the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction work for sustainable mountain development was shared with a wider public at the 2017 Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Cancun, 22-24 May by SDC.
The publication presents 15 case studies from mountain regions around the world, illustrating the efforts and experiences of public and private actors to implement the Sendai Framework’s four priorities for actions. Messages for policy-makers emphasize the need for mountain-specific disaster risk reduction policies – ideally, integrated with development activities and climate change adaption measures – to make livelihoods in mountains and beyond safer.
